DAYSTAR SANLITUN we will auction the artworks created by our students and donate the funds to Tongxin Huhui. What are the roles and responsibilities of association members? How did we establish our charity association? In the Daystar Sanlitun Charity Association, every member plays different roles and shoulders various responsibilities. For example, every Tuesday, members gather together to talk over lunch about the weekly objective, labor division and how to carry out their work. During activities, every member will take turns to act as a leader, publicity personnel, designer, photographer and recorder. In short, kids who join the Association will not only help others in person, but also improve their own abilities. Therefore, more students would be inspired to take part in charity, and everyone has a chance to become a global citizen that cares about others and serves their own communities. The idea of a charity association was proposed by teacher Zhang Ning. She intended to build a charity association led by students, to inspire students’ love and responsibility for the society we live in. By the end of September, after the initial efforts made by our principal Ms. Kari, Teacher Zhang Ning and Teacher Su Xia, we invited Grade 3 and Grade 4 students who are interested to set up Daystar Sanlitun Charity Association together. Once we sent our invitation, we received a lot of interest from our students. Many students were willing to devote their time and energy to charity and joined the Association. We’ve now got a total of ten student members. 9
